This extension is awesome! Keeps your downloads organized. The one down side is you can't change the location of the downloads in any sort of settings menu. However I found a work around using what is called a symbolic link. This allows you to physically store the files in another location and the extension doesn't need to know. The extension uses the path that it wants to but you tell the OS to physically point that path to another location. You can google "symbolic link" to learn more, but here are the steps for Window OS. Mac and Linux have the same thing but the commands might be slightly different. Windows OS: 1. Cut/Paste your current "productioncrate" folder with all it's contents to where you want it to be located and note the path to it. (I'm not sure if you have to disable the extension or close chrome while doing this, I disabled the extension myself to be on the safe side.) 2. Make sure after the copy that there is no "productioncrate" folder in your downloads folder. 3. Open Windows PowerShell as administrator. 4. Enter the following command which will create a symbolic link in your downloads folder that points to your other location. Replace your username/login and drive letters/paths with what you want. New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\Downloads\productioncrate\" -Target "E:\productioncrate\" There you have it. If you go into you downloads folder and open the producitoncrate folder you can see all the contents, but physically the files are all on the other drive/path that you specified. You can even open the actual folder to see them. This isn't copying files to both locations all data is actually stored physically at the path you specify in -Target. The path on the -Link argument is just a link that points to the target. To the windows file system it doesn't know any better and if you save a file at that location it is actually saved at the -Target location.

It would be amazing if you make it so that we can change the destination of the folder. I know that it is a security issue but there has to be a work around. Like administrator permission or something

This is a useful extension, but note that where the description says that it will create a folder structure to store your files, this is very literally true in that it's not possible to change this location unless you change your Downloads folder to be in an alternate location. This is not the fault of the developer, but it does but a real pall over the usability if you happen to use a drive/folder layout that keeps your Downloads in a place you don't want a ton of giant files to be stored.
